Flickering Flame Bulb

Another fun video from Micah Scott, and yeah, I dig the “use the vice to hold it” joke – I do that all the time myself!

Let’s use the glow discharge in a flicker flame bulb to make some weird neon art. This video is a photographic tour and rebuild of a simple glowthing made from a novelty light bulb and an old CCFL backlight inverter. It might have left me with more questions than answers after the laser pointers came out.
